Audible Channels is like a library of premium podcasts covering a broad range of formats including “original programs, distinctive comedy, lectures, and audio editions of standout articles and news.” Content is pulled from top publications like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review and The Onion. There’s also a selection of “hand-selected” Audible Playlists spanning “essential stories of the day, meditation and commute-sized comedy to compilations on science, history, technology and more.” It’s a nice way to get into podcasts without having to do much legwork or discovery.
